4. Christmas fair and Christmas cards
Christmas Fair went well and was well attended once again. Santa’s grotto location by the hub worked well in the hub worked well. Large number of selection boxes left over from the grotto. Chocolates will be sold at future events, but it may be worth looking at numbers brought when planning next years fair.
Tombola raised a good amount of money, footballs again proving popular.

The Christmas cards designed by the children proved popular. However, there were a few issues with the orders, including missing details being returned to school. The mugs weren’t a huge success, so next year we will look at only ordering cards and gift tags. Trustmark advised after the orders were in that design in felt pen would have given a better finish to the print quality of the cards and mugs.
